    I’m more angry at the low-information / single-issue voters who keep voting that political class in.

    Example: When I was waiting in line during the primaries this year, I overheard some guy behind me saying that he didn’t care about any of the policies; he’s just voting for whoever’s against abortion. I heard a few “uh-huhs” of agreement and then I cranked up my headphones to keep my blood pressure under control.

      I dunno if I can be mad at a stupid person for being stupid. It is their nature. I just hope I can make the generation that supersedes them can be a little smarter.

      But I can damn sure be mad at the person manipulating stupid people to enrich themselves at the expense of us all. They’re smart enough to know what they’re doing, and callous enough to not care.

      As frustrating as propaganda victims are to deal with, they’re still victims, not perpetrators.

      For the last year we’ve been cleaning the same thing from low info single issue liberals. Overlook genocide so their team can win. Overlook the environmental impact of 2 huge wars funded by the US so their team doesn’t lose. Their single issue is ‘not Trump’ despite on paper they look exactly like Trump

        The game theory here should be painfully obvious to you! But it’s not obvious to my candidate, it’s under their radar. /s
